With the release of The Brothers’ War, shattered glass foil Transformers Optimus Prime, Hero is making waves through a sale price at over $1,000 for the Magic: The Gathering Universe Beyond card. 

Wizards of the Coast tested the waters with MTG Universe Beyond products for The Brothers’ War, slotting Transformers cards into set and collector booster packs. Within collector booster packs, only a small number of Transformers cards featured a foil-shattered glass treatment. The odds of pulling a foil-shattered glass Universe Beyond Transformer are low, with only around 12 percent of all BRO collector boosters containing one. There are a possible 14 MTG double-faced Transformers cards.

Players and collectors who have been lucky enough to pull an MTG Transformers card from BRO booster packs are attempting to sell them as singles on the secondary market, with a foil-shattered glass Optimus Prime, Hero being listed from $700 up to $1,700.

And he isn’t the only Autobot or Decepticon that’s potentially worth money. Several Universe Beyond Transformers cards with a foil-shattered glass treatment have singles prices listed at over $100, according to MTGStocks and MTGGoldfish. 

  • Optimus Prime, Hero: $700 to $1,700
  • Megatron, Tyrant: $1,000 to $1,500
  • Soundwave, Sonic Spy: $20 to $850
  • Ratchet, Field Medic: $380 to $475
  • Cyclonus, the Saboteur: $370
  • Prowl, Stoic Strategist: $285 to $320
  • Goldbug, Humanity’s Ally: $200 to $220
  • Slicer, Hired Muscle: $300 to $350
  • Starscream, Power Hungry: Around $450
  • Flamewar, Brash Veteran: Around $400
  • Jetfire, Ingenious Scientist: $350 to $375
  • Ultra Magnus, Tactician: $60 to $900

Prices for the MTG Transformers cards are likely to fluctuate heavily for the next few weeks as the secondary market determines how many of these Universe Beyond cards with a shattered glass treatment were discovered.
